We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, scam warning, application instructions, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's parse the posting. Content: - Title: Paraeducator II - Behavior Team Support, 6.5 hrs/day (.8125 FTE), Part Time, Permanent - First round of interviews will be conducted by a review of applicants' video submissions.* (maybe keep? It's about process; maybe not needed? It's not boilerplate but maybe considered application instruction? It's about interview process. The instruction says remove application instructions. This is about interview process; could be considered application instruction. Safer to drop? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So interview process is application instruction. Remove. - Inclusive environment statement: "The North Clackamas School District strives to create an inclusive environment..." This is EEO boilerplate? It's about diversity, equity, inclusion. Might be considered EEO boilerplate. Probably remove. - "We are most interested in finding the best candidate for the job, and that candidate may come from a less traditional background. We would encourage you to apply, even if you don't believe you meet every one of our qualifications described. If you are unsure whether you meet the qualifications of this position, or how this would be determined, please feel free to contact Human Resources to discuss your application." This is also encouragement to apply; maybe considered application instruction. Remove. - Position Summary paragraph: keep. - Compensation: "Initial wage placement according to NCSD/OSEA Collective Bargaining Agreement. CLASSIFIED WAGE SCHEDULE 2026-2027 JOB GROUP Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Step 6 Step 7 Step 8 Step 9 D + 7.5%24.6025.8227.1328.4929.9331.4232.9934.64" We need to format pay section. The posting includes wage schedule with steps and amounts. We should include that as Pay section. - Retirement Plan Contributions paragraph: keep as Benefits? It's about retirement contributions. Could be Benefits section. - SCHEDULE: TBD; subject to change depending on department needs -> This is schedule but it's TBD, so we should NOT create Schedule section because it's placeholder. So omit. - WORK CALENDAR: 180 days -> This is schedule info (work days). Could be considered schedule. It's specific: 180 days. So we could include Schedule section with that info. However the instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It states WORK CALENDAR: 180 days. That's schedule. So we can include Schedule section with that. - Minimum Qualifications: list of qualifications. We'll put under Requirements or Qualifications? The headings list includes Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide mapping. Usually Minimum Qualifications go under Requirements or Qualifications. Desired Qualifications under Qualifications. Skills maybe separate. We have Minimum Qualifications list (many bullet-like sentences). Then Desired Qualifications list. We also have Major Duties And Responsibilities list. We also have "Please Refer To The Job Descriptions For Detailed Information." maybe remove as filler. Also "Applicant agrees to assume cost and arrange for FINGERPRINT-BASED CRIMINAL RECORDS CHECK upon offer of employment." That's a requirement/condition; could be under Requirements. Also EEO statement etc removed. Thus we need sections: - About the role: could be Position Summary. - Responsibilities: Major Duties And Responsibilities. - Requirements: Minimum Qualifications + fingerprint requirement maybe. - Qualifications: Desired Qualifications. - Skills: maybe we could extract skills from Minimum Qualifications? But we already have many skill-like items. Could create Skills section from those items that are skill-oriented. However we must not invent sections with filler. We have substantive content for skills: many items like "Possess strong interpersonal skills...", "Ability to communicate effectively verbally and in writing.", "Skill in the use of office and computer equipment...". Those could go under Skills. But we already have Requirements and Qualifications sections; we could put skill items under Skills. However the instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe combine Minimum Qualifications and Desired Qualifications into Requirements and Qualifications, and Skills maybe not needed if we can incorporate skill items into those sections. But we have headings list includes Skills; we can use it if we have specific skill content. We have a lot of skill-like sentences in Minimum Qualifications. Could split: Minimum Qualifications (education, experience, certifications) under Requirements; Desired Qualifications under Qualifications; and skill items under Skills. Let's extract: Minimum Qualifications (as listed): - Incumbents must have successful experience in working with culturally diverse families and communities, or have otherwise demonstrated a commitment to strengthening engagement of a diverse community and skill in communicating with a diverse population. - Successful completion of an Associate's Degree, or two years of post-high school education. The education requirement may be substituted at the sole discretion of the District by successfully passing the Paraprofessional assessment. - Able to be certified or to become certified in first aid, CPR, and/or operation of defibrillators. - Able to participate in advance training for instructional and behavior intervention methodologies. - Able to be trained in specialized physical management and intervention systems. - Possess strong interpersonal skills with demonstrated ability to work collaboratively - Capacity to maintain composure in environments with frequent interruptions and changing priorities. - Able to assist and support students experiencing emotional difficulties. - Able to follow written and verbal directions while demonstrating appropriate initiative. - Knowledge of classroom management and student discipline procedures. - Possess effective and accurate command of the English language. - Able to organize and ability to prioritize tasks efficiently. - Able to protect the confidentiality of student information consistent with FERPA requirements and good judgment. - Ability to communicate effectively verbally and in writing. - Skill in the use of office and computer equipment and use of standard office software and student information system software.

Major Duties And Responsibilities (list many). We'll put under Responsibilities. Also fingerprint requirement: "Applicant agrees to assume cost and arrange for FINGERPRINT-BASED CRIMINAL RECORDS CHECK upon offer of employment." Could be under Requirements. Compensation: wage schedule. Benefits: Retirement Plan Contributions. Schedule: WORK CALENDAR: 180 days. Also note: "SCHEDULE: TBD; subject to change depending on department needs" we ignore because TBD. Now we need to output HTML with headings

for each section. We need to use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. Thus for each section we need to decide if content is list or prose. About the role: Position Summary paragraph ->

    . Responsibilities: list of duties ->

    • each duty. Requirements: list of minimum qualifications + fingerprint requirement -> could be list. Qualifications: list of desired qualifications -> list. Skills: list of skill items -> list. Benefits: retirement plan contributions paragraph -> maybe

      (since it's prose). Could also be list but it's one paragraph. Pay: wage schedule -> maybe

      or we could present as

        but it's a table-like schedule. We'll output as

        preserving the text. Schedule: work calendar 180 days ->

        . We must not include empty sections. Let's craft. First, About the role:
